His text-графические of abstraction compared to the medieval palimpsests. His series of "Ecclesiastes" was highly praised by Sergei Kuskov. One of his "fine surface" is on the cover of the first publication of selected works of Igor Holin

the name of the sixties Adolf Goldmann (1933-2013) it is known in the circle of unofficial art: among artists, art critics and collectors-открывателей. The audience knows that the artist is much less. There are several reasons. Goldman did not distinguish himself in the cage of political non-conformists, did not participate in the "bulldozer exhibition", or the "house of culture", or in other high-profile episodes of resistance artists system. Since the late 1960-х until the beginning of 1980-х he worked primarily in applied graphics, book illustration earned — designed books Akhmadulina, Babel, has made almost two hundred publications.

an Independent path in art, he discovered, believed to be only in 1982. At this point, Goldman withdrew from occupying all the time of book illustration, got a job, according to some sources, working-речником and devoted himself to painting and easel. And he's in 1982 was nearly fifty. That is, by all standards, as a painter Goldman began rather late.

Late but bright. Since 1989, Goldman has held nearly two dozen exhibitions, including at such major Museum venues as the Tretyakov gallery, Russian Museum and the Hermitage. In the Tretyakov gallery in 1992 he had a solo exhibition. About it the series "the preacher" was highly praised by legendary art critic Sergey Kuskov, the opinion which I value many of the sixties.

In 1990-е at Goldman formed a recognizable distinctive language — he started making text-графические abstractions that critics aptly compared with medieval palimpsests (due to the effect of pristupanja text through previous text). His works he called "fine surfaces", the development of which later became spectacular "soinstall", in fact, multimedia objects. Returned to Goldman in book illustration. Some of the books in its design by-прежнему be purchased in on the Internet-магазинах. note for future collectors. Perhaps the pinnacle of mastery of Adolf Goldman as book illustrations was used in the design of selected works of the poet Igor Holin, published by "New literary review" in 1999.

According to the memoirs collectors, Goldman never or almost never wrote on the canvas. Its proprietary technology admission collector Alexander Mironov says: "Were orgality in the early works 1970-х. And later only the paper that it is often severe and multi-way cut strokes of the brush, and then repelled from the reverse side, leading to numerous osypanie. And then applied numerous layers of tempera and gouache. From these a standard on the format of the sheets he was and mnogochastny. Some of the exhibitions were works, consisting of 9-15 parts. Once in the NCCA did and cohesive exhibition of several dozen of his works".

Recent years, the artist worked intensively. In may 2013, Goldman got his a new exhibition in the gallery A-3, has completed the hanging, invited friends to the opening and died three days before opening day. Nicely, at full gallop, as not everyone.

What else I remember about Goldman? Until recent years he was fond of karate. From friends-художников especially was friends with Marlena by Spindler and Andrew Grositsky. Participated in many exhibitions and fairs. According to the memoirs Mironov, once at the "Art-Москве" 15-частник was sold for $15 thousand.

the Work of Adolf Goldman today can be purchased in galleries and through private channels. The order price — about 30 000-60 000 for a mid sized piece. The artist has already formed the circle of collectors that's important. But on the auction market his works so far never been proposed. So on our trading platform will soon be an auction debut. Whose-то work will be the first record in the database of auction results.
